Product Overview
Organisations that need accurate, data-driven visitor counts rather than general surveillance will find the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS purpose-built for exactly that task. This overhead-mounted dual-lens people counting camera from Hikvision uses binocular stereo vision to produce a three-dimensional view of the scene below, enabling real-time head detection, trajectory tracking, and separate entry and exit tallies. Featuring twin fixed 2 mm wide-angle lenses with approximately 104.5-degree horizontal coverage, a 2 MP sensor, and H.265+ compression, it captures both usable video and precise analytic data in one integrated unit. Built-in eMMC storage retains count records during network interruptions, and IP67-rated housing makes it suitable for outdoor entrance points as well as covered indoor thresholds. PoE and 12 V DC power options simplify installation at doorways, gate lanes, transport terminals, and retail entries where cabling access may be limited.
Key Capabilities
Binocular Stereo Vision Depth Tracking
Two synchronised 2 mm lenses capture slightly offset views and compare them to calculate real depth, enabling the camera to identify and track human figures in three dimensions rather than relying on flat 2D motion detection. This is the foundation of its counting accuracy in busy doorway environments.
Accurate Entry and Exit Differentiation
The analytics engine tracks each detected individual’s movement direction across the counting line, logging separate entry and exit figures in real time or on a configurable upload cycle. Height filtering further refines results by discarding objects below a set threshold, such as shopping trolleys or luggage.
On-Board eMMC Data Resilience
Up to 8 GB of built-in eMMC storage retains people-count records during network outages, preventing data gaps in the analytic log. When connectivity is restored, stored counts are uploaded automatically, keeping reporting complete without manual intervention.
120 dB Wide Dynamic Range
Entrance areas frequently combine bright exterior light with darker interior zones. The 120 dB WDR capability balances these extremes in a single frame, maintaining legible imagery at doorways, gate lanes, and lobby thresholds where lighting conditions vary throughout the day.
H.265+ Compression with PoE Simplicity
H.265+ encoding reduces storage and bandwidth load compared to older codecs, which matters when deploying multiple counting cameras across a large site. PoE (802.3af) allows a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to carry both data and power to each unit, reducing conduit and wiring complexity at entrances.
Best For
- Retail Traffic Analysis: Separate entry and exit counts with height filtering allow retailers to measure net footfall and filter out trolleys, giving accurate conversion rate data at store entrances.
- Transport and Transit Entry Points: The IP67-rated housing and wide operating temperature range of -30 to +60 degrees Celsius suit outdoor gate lanes and covered terminal thresholds where foot volumes are high and conditions vary.
- Venues and Public Buildings: Configurable upload cycles and eMMC data retention make the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS suitable for galleries, event halls, and civic buildings that generate occupancy reports on daily or weekly schedules.
- Facility Occupancy Monitoring: Office lobbies and co-working spaces benefit from real-time occupancy figures drawn from accurate stereo-vision counts, supporting energy management and access planning without requiring a separate occupancy sensor.
Why Choose the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS
Unlike a standard fixed camera used with video analytics software, the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS integrates its stereo-vision counting engine directly into the hardware. The dual 2 mm lens arrangement creates genuine depth perception at the camera level, not through post-processing guesswork, which translates to measurably higher accuracy in mixed-traffic environments. The combination of onboard eMMC storage, configurable upload cycles, height-based filtering, and IP67 outdoor durability means this unit can operate at unsupervised entrance points with confidence that the count record will remain complete even during network interruptions. The -30 to +60 degree Celsius operating range extends deployment options to outdoor locations that basic analytics cameras cannot sustain. Available at Security Wholesalers, the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS is a dedicated analytics device for buyers who need verified count data, not an approximation.
Buyer Decision Tips
Mounting Height and Alignment: Stereo-vision people counting cameras require overhead mounting at a specific height range and angle relative to the counting line for the depth calculation to function correctly. Before specifying the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS, confirm the ceiling height and structural mounting position at each doorway or entry lane. The dual 2 mm lenses provide approximately 104.5-degree horizontal coverage, which suits single doorway installations well. Wider multi-lane entrances may require more than one unit or a dedicated site survey to confirm coverage.
VMS and Reporting Integration: The DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile G as well as ISAPI, making it compatible with a broad range of network video management platforms. However, to extract structured people-count reports and configure upload schedules, verify that your chosen VMS or analytics platform explicitly supports Hikvision people-counting data fields. Basic ONVIF streaming will work, but count data export requires compatible software or direct integration with Hikvision’s management tools.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Store Entrances
Mounted overhead at a store entry, the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS delivers separate entry and exit tallies with height filtering to exclude trolleys. Retailers can calculate net footfall, assess conversion rates, and align staffing levels with measured peak-hour traffic data.
Transport Terminal Gates
The IP67 housing and -30 to +60 degree Celsius operating range allow deployment at outdoor or semi-covered gate entries at train stations, ferry terminals, and bus depots where passenger volume data directly informs scheduling and staffing decisions.
Museums and Exhibition Halls
Configurable daily or weekly upload cycles make this camera well suited to venues that generate periodic occupancy reports. The eMMC buffer ensures the analytic record remains intact even if the network drops during busy event periods.
Office and Co-Working Lobbies
Real-time occupancy counts drawn from the stereo-vision engine give facilities teams accurate data for energy management, access control planning, and building compliance without requiring a separate dedicated occupancy sensor at each entry point.
Entertainment and Hospitality Venues
Cinemas, stadiums, and hospitality venues with multiple entry lanes can use the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS to monitor crowd flow at each threshold. Accurate per-entry data supports queue management, capacity compliance, and post-event attendance reporting.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need verified entry and exit counts at a specific doorway or gate lane, require onboard data buffering to protect analytic records during network interruptions, and need a unit capable of outdoor installation across a wide temperature range.
- Choose a different model if: Your primary need is conventional surveillance video rather than structured people-count data. A standard fixed-lens or turret camera will deliver higher-resolution imagery at lower cost for general monitoring tasks where analytics reporting is not required. Similarly, if the mounting position is a side wall rather than an overhead ceiling or soffit directly above the counting threshold, stereo-vision depth tracking will not function as designed.
FAQs
- What makes the dual-lens design more accurate than a single-lens analytics camera?
The two lenses capture slightly offset views of the same scene simultaneously. By comparing the positional difference between these views, the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS calculates real depth information for each detected object. This allows the analytics engine to confirm that a target is a person of appropriate height moving in a specific direction, rather than relying on 2D pixel motion which is far more prone to false counts in busy or cluttered doorways.
- Where should the DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS be mounted for best results?
This camera is designed for overhead mounting, positioned directly above and centred on the counting threshold, such as a doorway, gate, or entry lane. The dual 2 mm lenses provide approximately 104.5-degree horizontal coverage per lens, which suits standard single-door or moderate-width entry points. Mounting height should be confirmed against Hikvision’s installation guidelines for this model, as the stereo-depth calculation requires the target zone to sit within the camera’s calibrated operating range.
- Can the camera operate outdoors through Australian summer and winter temperature extremes?
Yes. The DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS carries an IP67 rating against dust and water ingress, and its operating temperature range of -30 to +60 degrees Celsius covers the conditions found at outdoor gate lanes, undercover transport entries, and external retail arcade entrances in most Australian climate zones.
- What happens to count data if the network goes offline?
The camera includes built-in eMMC storage with capacity up to 8 GB dedicated to analytics data. Count records accumulate in this onboard buffer during a network outage. Once the connection is re-established, the stored data is uploaded to the management platform, ensuring continuity of the analytic record without manual recovery steps.
- Does this camera integrate with third-party VMS platforms?
The DS-2CD6825G0/C-IVS supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile G as well as Hikvision’s ISAPI protocol, which gives broad compatibility with major network video management systems. Video streaming over ONVIF will work with most compatible platforms. For structured people-count data export and report scheduling, confirm with your VMS vendor that their platform explicitly supports Hikvision people-counting data fields before installation. Security Wholesalers can assist with compatibility queries for this product.
- Does height filtering work automatically, and what objects does it exclude?
Yes, height filtering is a configurable analytics parameter within the camera. When set, the counting engine ignores objects that fall below the defined height threshold in the 3D scene. In practice this means shopping trolleys, pushchairs, luggage, and low-profile equipment passing through the counting zone are excluded from the tally, improving the accuracy of human-only counts without requiring manual review of the data.
